| Popis: | Epicometis hirta Poda. is a dangerous pest which can be observed on annual crops and also on fruit tree species.The adult is a beetle can be easily recognized due to existing pubescence found all over it’s body. The pest causes damage by consuming the reproductive organs of flowers. Adults are phytophagous and feed on leaves and flowers of plants such as orchard trees, cereals or ornamental plans. The timeing chemical control against this species is very difficult considering that the moment of sprays application is during bloom,thus the pollinating entomofauna is affected. Therefore the need to develop alternative control methods is highlighted. Semiochemical products represent a method of perspective whereas involve only the target species. For this purpose the team of entomology discipline along with Institute of Chemistry “Raluca Ripan”colegues, tested the attractiveness of two new synthetic products which were placed in three types of traps (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3). Experiments were located in UASVM Cluj Napoca Orchard, fruit tree farm Steluţa and fruit tree farm Agroindustriala Cluj Napoca. The best results were obtained by Type 1 trap, in all three locations. |
